PowerUp FPV Flight Time

1/5/2016

0 Comments

 
PowerUp FPV Flight Time
The PowerUp FPV flight time is adequate, and is very similar to the flight time of other similarly sized FPV drones. One would expect the PowerUp FPV flight time to be greatly increased due to the reduced weight as a result of the FPV drone being made of paper, but sadly, flight time does not seem to be increased.

The PowerUp FPV flight time is up to 10 minutes of continuous flight time, but can be extended by replaceable batteries. These batteries can be replaced very quickly, so the PowerUp FPV flight time - with quick interruptions for battery replacements - can be seemingly infinite. 

It is very possible that the PowerUp FPV flight time will be increased with the introduction of larger batteries in the future. But, as of now, flight time looks like it will reside at about 10 minutes.

The new PowerUP FPV pictures look awesome! This drone is the first paper airplane drone with FPV capabilities, and it is creating quite a buzz within the drone FPV community. Pictures of the PowerUp FPV depict it as a fixed-wing, two-engined drone that is controlled by Google Cardboard. The PowerUp FPV looks totally legit - but don't take out word for it. Check out the PowerUP FPV pictures below and let us know what you think!

ProDrone Ultimate Flight Platform Specs
ProDrone's Ultimate Flight Platform Specs are incredibly impressive. The Ultimate Flight Platform will allow users of ProDrone's products to mount a DSLR (such as the Panasonic GH4 and Canon 5DIII, to name a few) directly to the drone. Why is this revolutionary? Because ProDrone's Ultimate Flight Platform is the first mount to allow a DSLR on a consumer-level drone. Before the Ultimate Flight Platform, one could not find these kinds of specifications on any consumer-level drone.

ProDrone Ultimate Flight Platform Specifications

  • The Ultimate Flight Platform will be able to carry a heavy payload, including cameras like the GH4 and 5DIII.
  • Flight Time with the Ultimate Flight Platform will be 12-15 minutes per charge.
  • The Ultimate Flight Platform mounts will be available for all ProDrone BYRD models.

Axis-VIDIUS-Release
The Axis VIDIUS release will occur on January 29th, 2016. Technically speaking, the VIDIUS will begin shipping "on or before" the 29th of January 2016, but we feel that shipping is basically synonymous with "release."

Though the release date for the Axis VIDIUS may be a few weeks away, you can take advantage of the pre-order sale through January 7th and get the Axis VIDIUS for just $75! The regular price for the Axis VIDIUS will be $95 after the 7th and through the release.
